【Editorial】Let’s fight together against the attack on cooperatives (Nov. 29, 2016)
The recent turmoil over a report by the government’s Regulatory Reform Promotion Council on agriculture cooperatives reform, filled with irrational arguments, was settled after some maneuvering by the ruling Liberal Democratic Party. Radical and extreme phrases were deleted from the report for the time being, but it is highly likely that attacks on cooperatives will continue in the future. In response, cooperatives at home and abroad issued statements of protest against the report, calling for the need to protect the organizations’ core principles of autonomy and independence.

【Report】Angry voters, including farmers, elect Trump U.S. president（Nov.16&17,2016）
[Washington, D.C./ By Ed Maixner, Journalist] In upset surprising pollsters and politicians in the United States and worldwide, Donald Trump, the American Republican Party candidate, won four years as president of the United States this week, riding to victory on a tidal wave of angry working class voters fed up with the central government in Washington, DC. Many still smart from the big recession of 2009 that they believe has cost them jobs and economic security, and they blame political leaders.
